Hi Nancy,

 RH> Keep looking, there's bound to be a quick place somewhere in the
 RH> greater Rochester area. If not, then enjoy the gyros at the street
 RH> fairs and such like places. One of the places in WF we go to set up at
 RH> a "Meet in the Street" in May; we wandered the street for a bit, then
 RH> hit them up for lunch.

 NB> Gyros are also available at the sit-down places as one of the various
 NB> options... haven't been to the street fair things in ages, either..

You may have to go with the sit down option. Wake Forest is still small
town-ish enough (especially the older section of town, where we live)
that a street fair is still possible. They close off a couple of blocks
of one of the major streets for several hours, have bands, all kinds of
craft and food vendors, etc. It's fun to wander and see what's for sale
(most of it out of our price range for the "antique" stuff).


 NB>  RH>> It was good. There are a couple (owned by the same person) here
 NB> in  RH>> Wake Forest we go to from time to time. I took a friend to
 NB> one last  RH>> year; she'd never had that kind of food before but
 NB> enjoyed it.
 NB>  NB>> It's good food.  :)

 RH> I forget when we first came across it, if it was in Germany or before,
 RH> but we've been enjoying it for at least 20 years.

 NB> We've been enjoying it for at least that long as well.. couldn't even
 NB> tell when/where we first had it...

funny, how something becomes such a part of your life you don't remember
how it did. We had guacamole and quesadillas for the first time in CA,
when Steve was stationed at the Presidio of Monterey for language
school. Some things I might be able to recall where/when we had them
for the first time, others, couldn't begin to remember exactly (could
give an approximate timeframe  for some, but not others).

 RH> I would have gone for the tabouli at one time, possibly the grape
 RH> leaves but went for the salad as it was lower carb.

 NB> Different needs, different tastes...  lettuce tends not to like me
 NB> much.

OK, I've no trouble handling it.

 NB>  NB>> Sounds like you could have had a little more of that ice
 NB> cream... you  NB>> did well.  :)

 RH> Haven't gone over 100 in over a week. I'm in the range my doctor was
 RH> trying to get me in--took stopping the insulin to hit it--for the most
 RH> part. Still have an occaisional day in the 70s or 80s, or 100s but
 RH> fairly consistent in the low 90s.

 NB> Well controlled... a good thing.    :)

Very well, much better than I thought I'd be when I first got the
diagnosis.


 NB>  NB>> Not quite the same thing... back when that was an issue here,
 NB> we've  NB>> done the same thing... it's nice not to have to worry
 NB> about that any  NB>> more. :)

 RH> Some places you still do have to watch it--last I knew, VA still
 RH> allowed smoking in restaurants. We try to sit as far away from the
 RH> smoking area as possible in situations like that. In other places,
 RH> we're grateful for the no smoking laws.

 NB> True...  I've become quite used to the NY laws prohibiting... easy to
 NB> forget until you walk in that some states don't have that in place.
 NB> :)

And then you catch a whiff of tobacco smoke and think "yuck, get me out
of here!".
